One of the greatest chivalric allegory poems is Guillome de Loris’s “The Romance of the Rose.” The tales of famous swords are absent here, the poem is more about courtly love, courtesy and how all of it relates to God. Albeit, I am a reluctant Catholic, so being as I am ProChoice, anti-Patriarchy and “God” to me is one too divine to comprehend; the florid language of the poem itself does make one think, that yes, ‘perhaps’ there is something otherworldly within our midst, yet does not interfere in human’s dalliances. If I recall correctly, the so-called Founding Fathers whom wrote our Constitution were Deists—whom supposedly believed in such things. What in the world has happened to our once grand experiment of our American that is now under attack from within? By that I am referring to Trumpism. Think about all of these ethereal truths when you vote in November.
The winners of that battle ( the Muslims & their Basque compatriots) tale says that Charlemagne and his thug knights were on a raiding party in Northern Spain and were chased out by the defenders of their own territory. Hroland was left “at the van” meaning the end defending his fleeing compatriots. Someone had to defend the escape, and it was Hroland. He died out numbered . The horn he carried could be heard by the tail end of the fleeing knights. But Charlemagne never again attempted an encroachment .
